    Not too many from Dolphins players that I see:

    From the rest of the NFL and Marcus Vick

    and from Dwayne Wade:

    The most out of line has to be Roddy White.

    How do you explain it to your young boys Wade?

    How about sadly a young man died, but in our country you need a compelling case and the ability to prove BEYOND a reasonable doubt that someone committed a particular crime. Innocent until proven guilty, and in this instance, Zimmerman was not proven guilty. Appeals to emotion do not make a case, you need substantial evidence.

    And by the way James Harrison, by putting it in writing you've now shown pre-meditation. Dumb ***.



    Kudos to Torrey Smith for being a level headed individual about this and separating emotion from logic.

    I know he wasn't serious. Doesn't make what he wrote any more sensible. The situation he is comparing in his tweet to what Zimmerman was found not guilty of is not the same, because in Zimmerman's case there is no reason to believe his actions were pre-meditated (unlike Harrison's).

    on the grounds that somehow it will one day be used as evidence is what you stated.

    that's the thing about writing it on the web, in public, sarcasm/sense of humor is difficult to interpret.

    I don't think Harrison will have any problem getting thrown in jail if he does go out and shoot someone, no matter what he said on his twitter account.

    The thing that amazes me, is that everyone of color just assumes that Trayvon was just an innocent kid walking home from the candy store. In Reality its been proven , he loved to fight , use illegal substances , was anything but a scholar in school and was recently suspended for illegal drug use. Mom even sent him away and it appears dad couldn't handle him either. But admitting that would take away from any claim of victimization and entitlement that black society seems to crave nowadays. Even wealthy athletes.

    Its been proven that Zimmerman is violent and breaks the law. Its also been proven he doesn't follow directions or rules. Its also been shown he is a very poor at his task of being on neighborhood watch. Calling the cops over 40 times and not one single arrest even though there were still plenty of break-ins. But if you want to talk about entitled brats who feel they should get away with anything, then you tell me, which one was the son of a wealthy judge who wasn't even charged in the shooting death of someone until all hell broke loose?

    You can't tell how many break ins he might have prevented from being on watch. You can't seriously state that arrests are the only success neighborhood watch people can use as a rating? Seriously? Doesn't follow directions? Rules? Do dispatchers make up rules now? Last time I checked its legal to walk in your community. And he wasn't charged BECAUSE HE WAS NOT GUILTY. Proven by the fact he is a free man today. All hell brooke loose because the press /media created a media Frenzy by reporting untruths and only 1 side of the story by careful editing. Any other B.S. spins and complete lies you care to share?

    The victim's basic stance is that he or she:

    • Is not responsible for what happened.
    • Is always morally right.
    • Is not accountable.
    • Is forever entitled to sympathy.
    • Is justified in feeling moral indignation for being wronged. YOU DO THE MATH http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSYy44jluq0

    Surprise, you don't even know anything about the effing case.

    The national NWP tells people to not be armed when on patrol and to not follow suspects. Prior to the that night, at an event conducted by the police with purpose to train people in proper NWP protocol, GZ was specifically told by a police officer to not follow someone. Those are both rules and directions. They were both not followed by GZ and they both lead to him shooting someone to death. He didn't walk, he ran.

    And he still was arrested for resisting officer with violence and his ex had a restraining order against him because of domestic violence. He was also accused of molestation by a family member. But keep touting him as a pillar of society.

    Not a Pillar.......a HERO. Last time I checked walking in your community is NOT against any rules. Definitely not against the Law either. Cops say that for liability reasons. Had they said , yeah go follow them , guess who would get sued my Trays parents? Again......had the kid Not attacked the creepy *** white cracka , he would be alive today.

    I envy your ability to just make **** up, call that **** fact, and then use those **** facts to back up your already held opinions. It must make your day less stressful never having to objectively approach a situation. Its like you've made a template for thinking.

    "A Template for thinking........." OK I like that! That one is written down. Nothing I said is made up. You just see it differently I guess. You believe the turning point of the incident is when GZ left his car despite a dispatcher suggesting "we don't need you to do that" . I believe it was when Tray attacked GM. Committing a Felony himself. Aggravated Battery. Again, the Sanford police have said, Tray would have been arrested had he not been killed. You have 2 people, only one actually committed a crime with an intent to harm.
